SENATORIAL CONTESTS.

AUSTIN, TEX, January 3l.-The
Legislature convened in Joint session
at noon todsy and resumed the ballot.
ing for United States Senator. The
first ballot today, and the twenty.
second Of the contest, resulted as fol-
lows: Reagan, So; Maxey, AZ; Ireland,
20. This shows a gain of l vote for
Maxey and loss of 3 for Ireland,
while Reagan's vote is unchanged.
The twenty-fourth ballot resulted
Resgan, So; Maxsy, 81; Ireland, 81 ;
Throckmorton, 4; Saith Sheppard, |.
The joint session adjourned until to-
morrow. In the twsnty-second ballot,
Msxey received Al votes instead OF AZ
as reported.
The Maxey and Ireland men united
to force an adjournment at the con-
clusion OF the third ballot today,
Rssgan's followers opposing the mo-
ton midst conside cradle excitement.
The indications point to the breaking
Of the deadlock at tomorrow's session.
The last voc today showed eleven
members absent or paired, nearly all
OF whom are either Maxey or Ireland
men. Gen. Maxey speaks as hope.

day OF the conflict. His follow.
ere, however, are plainly less
confident than a week ego.
Judge Reagan was in fine spirits this
evening, his steady gain Of few votes
each day having q buoyant effect on
him ana his followers. He lacks but
thirteen voes of an election. 1t Is
though that the de dlock cannot con-
tinue another day. The name OF
Gov. Throckmorton, who received
one vote today, was men.
toned very prominently tonight as
that OF compromise candidate,
while the election OF Gov. Ross is an
ticipsted by many. The supporters
OF Reagan, Msxey and Ireland held
secret caucuses tonight for the pur-
pose of canvassing the situation. At
late hour 1t became known that the
caucus OF Irelsud's fri, nds Was con-
sidering some important action. When
the caucus broke up it was ascertained
that Ireland's withdrawal from the
race had been determined upon. This
announcement will bs made before
the balloting commences tomorrow.
Gov. Ireland was present at the caucus
and advised that course. 1t is gen.
orally thought that Ireland's
strength will largely 60 to
Maxey and the latte1's cleo.
ton in the first ballot tomorrow
is anticipated by his friends. 1t has
been demonstrated, however, in Ter
rell's withdrawal that no candidate in
the race can turn his entire strength
to another candidate, and Reagan's
friends feel confident of enough Ire
land votes to elect their man on the
first or second ballot tomorrow.

GIVE US ALL THE RELIGION
"YOU LIKE FROM ROME, BUT
NO POLITICS."
Were the salient Words OF a ResO.
luton Adopted by the Friends
OF DIR. MeGIynn.

New YoEK, January 30 The
Academy of Music was crowded to-
night in response TO the call OF the
Central Labor Union for mass meet
ing to express their disspprovsl Of the
&C Of Archbishop Corrigan in sus-
pending the Rev. DR.. Edward Nc.
GlyDn from st. Stephens Roman
Catholic Church for al eyed insubor-
dination in speaking at political gather
ings. Patrick Grove was elected
chairman. Henry George was among
those on the stage. Ten cents adms-
sion had beea paid by over 5000 per-
cons and number paid 81 each for
seats in the private blxts. Mr.. Grove
in assuming the chair drew compsri-
son between Father McGlynn, VITO
bad served the poor faithfully on
salary OF 500 year, and the Lord in
the Arch bishops palace. He con-
cluded with the sentiment OF Daniel
OConnell, "Gvs US all the religion
you like from Rome, but no politics."
and this seemed to be the tone OF tle
meeting Throughout. Toe pist of the
resolutions is co tiined ia the follow
ing paragraph:
while freely recc 6 liziDg the right

pate by voice aud vote in all

tiers in the exercise OF the right OF citi-
zsnship as violation of tnst princi-
pie Of the absolute separation OF
Church and Stale that is, and has been,
one OF the chief bull arks of American
liberty"
A protest Is entered against d.. Nc
Glynn's deposition and his summon
ing to Rome, and support Of the de-
posed priest is pledged.
Henry George spoke at some
length, dwelling OH the claim that DR..
McGlynn's land theory was not in
conf ct with the tenets OF the Catholic
Church, and that he had not been de-
posed because he took part in politics
but because he look the side OPP
posed by the Archbishop. He was
vociferously applauded, Addresses
we're also made by John O. Gahan,
editor OF the Irish Herald, and Frank
Ftrrill, q Knight of Labor.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION

A new feature is becoming promi-
nent in business which requires taking
itto account in estimating the condi-
tions and prospects Of things, and that
lie advancing prices. As demand has
increased 1t has naturally given an mp
ward turn to prices, but in the transit
ton period, before the new rates are
fully established, there is a natural
holding up Of the market until 1t is
seen whether the advances demanded
are firmly established or are the mere
result Of merely ephemSrAl extra pur-
chases. Among our Southern "boom-
ists" advances have another aspect,
aud one they will do we'll to regard in
time. Because the South had cheaper
iron, cheaper lands, and was contentt d
with more moderate profits than
others, others have come do IN South
to participate in the blessings low
prices have brought. The consequences
is these people are bidding against
eseh other until what was cheap ia
now becoming dear, land that had
b,en of sring for $50 an acre, bringing
$50, and 80 on. These advances
sound splendidly in the ears Of the
bosetful, but those who understand
that they are weighing us down with
the rates that have hithelt turned the
scale against our rivals, will conlem-
plate the present excitement with very
gave feelings. The general run OF
trade is most encouraging. The pros.
pscts Of the spring business are all
that could be desired. Labor troub OF,
unfortunately, throw u shadow upon
the brightness, and until employers,
when raising the prices OF commodi-
ties, are willing to make corresponding
advances in wsg's, we expsct that
shadow to continue to cast its glo ,my
hue over business aAairs. The ex-
peetatlon OF war In Europe is perhaps
stronger than before. The temper OF
tire principal European governments,
executive and parliamentary, is
oil a character that, together
with the immense warlike prepare
tions made aud making, shake all con-
hdenoe In the preservation Of peace.
Thoughtful and foreseeing business
men are not disregardiul OF these
signs OF the times" The passage by
Congress OF the interstate railroad bill
is accepted with much more equanim-
ity than many looked for, and rany
believe 1t to be the com mencsm OF
sound and necessary class OF legisla-
ton. Money is flowing toward New
York, aud is plentiful at moderate
rates. Silver has advanced again. 1t
was at AZ pence an ounce in London q
week ago. On Wednesday 1t advanced
10 AZ l-l6 pence, and then 10 Az pence,
al which price the bullion In our dol
lar is worth 79.S9S cents. The weeks
Cesrings are again highly satisfactory.
Iussead Of losing, as IT did last week,
New York gained 1853 per cent. as
compared with the corresponding
week year ago, and the totals Of all
the banks reporting showed gain of
1871 per cent, or, with New York ex-
cluded, lilo per cent. In the list OF
thirty cities, only three show a de.
crease, Providence, Galveston and
Lowell. Memphis showed an increase
oil 49,1 over the clearings OF a year
ago.
